Making the most of your day
Visit Google Street View for a 360 degree outside tour of this property. New windows in the bird hide provide clearer views across Malham Tarn and now also into the surrounding woodland.
Malham Tarn
Created by glaciers thousands of years ago, this tarn is a popular focal point in Malhamdale's classic limestone countryside. On its western shore is Tarn Moss, a wetland haven for birds and wildlife. SD893667
Malham Cove
A unique natural amphitheatre made up of curved limestone cliffs (not owned by the NT). Combine a walk here from Malham village with a visit to Janet's Foss and Malham Tarn. SD895645
Malham Moor
The wide expanse of Fountains Fell offers more challenging open access hill-walking and a chance to really escape from the crowds. Whether you take to the Pennine Way or one of many local paths, you'll be rewarded for your efforts with stunning views across Malham Tarn.
Janet's Foss
A picturesque waterfall carries Gordale Beck over a rocky outcrop into a deep pool. Follow the stream through a wooded valley, a popular walk from Malham. SD910632
